It is the FIRST STEP™ philosophy
that by reaching in to our children using an intensive, individually
tailored therapeutic intervention approach, our ultimate goal
of communication, WILL BE ACHIEVED. We feel that a successful
program must include: teaching the precursors for communication,
teaching play skills, providing opportunities for interaction,
teaching generalization, teaching independence and providing
on going education for the child’s support system.
We believe that the program
should fit the child and NOT that the child is expected to fit
the program!
Kendall Speech and Language
Center, Inc. has realized documented gains in our childrens'
ability to function in their everyday lives and to communicate
due to a combination of a holistic, incidental teaching model
with an applied behavioral approach. These
changes have occurred with our children by incorporating:
- Personalized programs
- Inclusion of an applied behavioral focus
- Inclusion of sensory integration techniques as
prescribed by the child’s Occupational Therapist
- Creating a cognitive challenge
- Parental training in our Center and at their
home
- Promoting overall independence
- Early intervention
- Broad based curriculum
- Inclusion with assistance
- Generalization programming
